how in the hell do you grow tomatoes in texas???

Usually without swearing at them, Dearheart. Actually, I would suggest you try "container gardening". That's where you buy decently large pots, put a rich mix of potting soil, compost, peat moss and a little gravel in and then plant one or two tomato plants per pot. That way you can control the amount of shade/sun and water the plants get, you can stake or tomato cage them easily and if it gets inclement you can take the pots in if necessary. I would suggest a natural type of insect dust containing a plant (usually marigold) extract. Buy plants that are rated for the area. I would suggest an heirloom variety if you can find them as these tomatoes taste better than some of the more recent types. I wish you luck.

I live in Houston and I've grown some very beautiful beefsteak tomatoes before. The key is to keep them heavily watered and put them somewhere they'll get lots of direct natural light. It's a little too late in the season for them right now, but early next summer would be a great time for planting.

you're gonna have issues contained in the colour. attempt to get them a minimum of six hours of solar with afternoon colour if in any respect accessible (that putting solar receives quite warm). If it really is your first run, go such as your backyard save sorts with an finished lengthy string of ailment resistant (like VFFNt). The All us of a designation is yet another signal of this. you'll likely see celeb and larger perfect Boy, both which will be good alternatives. Tomatoes are temperature gentle and that is getting overdue for you. Get the biggest plants you'll locate.

In pots, big flower pots with tomato cages in them. Your tomatoes will grow, but they will have a tougher skin than they would if you grew them in a different region. I have a friend in El Paso that grows tomatoes in the ground, but he uses lots of bagged soil to amend the existing soil before he plants. He said that his skins are tougher than the ones that were on his tomatoes in Oklahoma. Good luck.

How in the hell do you NOT grow tomatoes in texas lol I live in texas... there's tomatoes here...

we grow Celebrity......a good strong plant for our south Texas weather...start with a good size plant (not the seed)....be sure you put round cages of wire around them....fertilize and water....I am planting the fall garden right now, but not including tomatoes...they would have to be grown in pots where you could get them out of the frost when necessary.....

The same way you grow them every where else. Plant in the ground and keep watered.

Easy put seeds in the dirt, water and wait.

plant seeds in some dirt and keep moist
